Although the psychotypes of Magic are fairly useful, i think everyone has their pet cards. Whether they're good or not is sometimes just completely irrelevant - Conley Wood's apparently love for Wee Dragonauts is a good example. My own is currently Cerebral Eruption and i had a bit of a thing for Bestial Menace back when Worldwake was released. But as the spoilers for New Phyrexia begin to trickle in, i've fallen for another card that may or may not be terrilble, and it's a bug...
For those of you who can't read Japanese - so that's me - here is the
translation. This might be a pretty sweet answer to all those broken-ass Planeswalkers and FUCK YEAH! it's not a mythic! It goes in any deck too, although it's obviously optimal in a black-heavy deck... maybe something like mono black control?! With Sword of F&F around we probably won't see it become a real deck but I can dream. It seems like it might make some pretty huge waves in limited too, sucking out poison or just removing charge counters: it's all upside. Of course, one toughness is a big draw back, but the fact that this is a one-drop means it's flexible enough that it might get some damage in. In standard, it's probably a sideboard card at best, but a pretty fun one.
Anyway, the art is pretty sweet. So far all of the art from
New Phyrexia looks great to me, and definitely fits the theme of the set very nicely. Despite Karn being pretty underwhelming, at least to me, i'm already pretty excited about the new set... roll on May!
